Fraser hardly even looked like himself; he was out of uniform, dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt, his face tanned and unshaven. If not for the Hat in his hands, he might have been his own cousin or some such. But Ray was Ray, abruptly (as always) real and solidly Ray, and the delight that lit up Fraser's eyes was as genuine and recognizable a fingerprint.
He hadn't even known Ray was here. In the confusion following his accident (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1407882.html), he'd simply heard that Ray was in Chicago. It had only seemed natural to assume that Ray was to stay there while Fraser carried out his mission, whatever that might be, here. Certainly, he hadn't expected (although he had hoped) to see his partner upon his return, which made this an extremely happy surprise.
Fraser had never been very much the hugging type -- the Frasers, in general, were not a hugging family -- but he'd been long since accustomed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRLCKDn_7Hs) to Ray's particular brand of physical affection and he accepted the hug gratefully, if a little awkwardly, giving Ray a clunky pat on the back before pulling away.
Ray was saying something, but Fraser was still too shocked and delighted to pay much attention, and he didn't understand all the words anyway. "Hi, Ray," he beamed.
